There is plenty of what you'd expect — intricately detailed paintings of countryside and close-ups of flowers. But there are also cubist, impressionist and surrealist works on display. One highlight is Aimee Birnbaun's gritty paintings of a flooded London.

The majority of the art is on sale ranging from £300 to £4000, with nearly 400 works to choose from.

Though watercolour may still be seen by many as the medium of the amateur, this exhibition shows that there's a lot to like about it.

The Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours 200th Exhibition is on at the Mall Galleries, The Mall, SW1Y until 25 March. Admission is £2.50, concessions available.
